Africa is more diverse than any other place on the planet. It has
experienced the greatest combination of foreign thievery and foreign
goodwill. It is plagued with individuals who are hurting, dirty, and dying.
It is plagued with rich leaders.
It is strong, joyful, and resilient.
Africa is filled to the brim with song, dance, and soccer. It fills your
lungs with life with every burnt breath.
It fills your eyes with tears with every sight. The sun blazes, the rain
pours. It has more sky than your eyes could possible take in.
Africa is humbling. Africa rips the heart out of your chest and buries it in
the rich red soil, knowing that you will someday return, to see the growth,
and there is no doubt it will grow.
Africa is dangerous, welcoming, and addictive. It is prosperous. It is poor.
It is all too overwhelming. Africa knows the value of friendship. Time is
not money in Africa...and Money goes a long way.
Africa holds a mirror up to your soul-letting you see all your selfish
desires, and not letting go, until you're completely broken.
